Database Admin Security Permissions

Hi,
We installed SQL 2000 Tools only (Enterprise manager) on
the database admins pc's, and now we want to setup
permissions for the database admins to only be able to do
database administration.
Should I use Windows authentication, (how do I setup just
enough permissions?) or SQL Authentication (how do I do
that?) Is there a whitepaper for this? What is the best
practice?
Thanks,
Judith
Hi,
What ever authentication, If you set the SYSTEM ADMIN role to DBA person, he
can do administration as well as any changes to databases .
Why should you restrict access to database administrators? Normally in all
enterprises he is the guy who is responsible
for your datbase server. So no need to protect the access from him
Thanks

|||Well, I could think of this myself! But the question is
that that I want to restrict access for database admins,
because it's a different department and responsibility. So
our enterprise is a little different. Does anybody knows
more about this subject?
Thanks in advance!!!
